The truth is that most of us have more than enough money to live joyful lives and provide for our families. But rather than choosing simplicity, we choose physical over spiritual abundance, a larger mortgage over our emotional well-being. We choose more STUFF over more PEACE.

It’s hard enough to even hear our truth with all of the constant noise and chaos around us - but to actually follow it, when life throws us curve balls, is the ultimate test of our convictions.
